[Q] Help me!

is that possible to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 on my i9505?
I did read some subjects about that the 4.2.2 is better than 4.3 , and the downgrade is impossible because the knox will refuse the downgrade process , so if I root my i9505 and flash any 4.2.2 custom ROM with knox free , after that , is that possible to flash the stock 4.2.2?
thank you my teachers

the only way that I know of to downgrade to 4.2.2 is by flashing the south african 4.2.2 firmware and then you can flash your country's 4.2.2 firmware

[Q] downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 sm-n900w8

hi guys
i was wondering if anyone can help with downgrading from 4.4.2 kit kat to 4.3 jelly bean on my Canadian SM-N900W8 with Rogers.
I accidentally upgraded and want to return to the pervious 4.3. Ive researched a long time and ive read that once you upgrade you cannot downgrade back to jelly bean. Ive also read another post on here that said with Canadian Sm-N900W8 if you download the Mexican 4.4.2 and flash it via odin that you can return to 4.3. Can anyone confirm this and provide me instructions.
Ive downloaded the PIT, BL, and AP for the mexican 4.4.2 and it says to use the CSC AND modem from the stock rogers 4.3.... i have the N900W8VLUCNB7_N900W8OYACNB7_RWC.zip but i dont how how to use the csc and modem from it?
Any help with returning me to 4.3 would be appreciated.

Sorry to say but you cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 rom/firmware.
You will be able to upgrade if and when a newer version of the firmware
is released.
Good luck!

If you upgraded to the Mexican 4.4.2 from 4.3 then you can downgrade back to 4.3. But since you upgraded to the newly released NB7 I believe you're stuck there as Samsung patched the bootloader already for the N900W8.

Is there anyways to unlock bootloader of shv-e330s?

I want to downgrade to 4.2.2 but I can't find the PDA in my phone only the 4.4.2 has the exact PDA in my phone, I was downloading some stock firmware on sammobile and Samsung updates but still only 4.4.2 has exact to my phone and there is no 4.2.2 available for my phone, so I've read some forums that GT i9506 is bootloader unlocked and the i9506 and I've heard some people that shv -e330s is same with i9506. And other variants of s4 is bootloader locked. So is it possible that I can downgrade 4.2.2 from 4.4.2? My s4 is shv-e330s
This was my phone firmware:
